Many violent incidents cause devastating damage to healthcare \u0000personnel. In this study, we aimed to examine the etiological differences between physical and verbal violence in violent incidents seen in \u0000hospitals, and especially whether being an emergency service professional has an effect on physical and verbal violence. \u0000Materials and Method: Four-year white code case records between 2018 and 2022 in a tertiary hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The \u0000type and setting of violence, the gender, and the occupation of the perpetrator were recorded. The cases were divided into two groups: physical \u0000violence and verbal violence. The collected data were compared between the groups. \u0000Results: During the indicated period, 231 cases of code white were reported. While 51.9% of those affected by violence were men, the mean age \u0000was 33 (28-40). Physicians were the most common professional group affected by violence, with 102 individuals (44.2%). The most common site \u0000of violence was the emergency service, at 54.5%. The rate of physical violence in the emergency department was found to be higher than verbal \u0000violence (63.9%-51.2%), although it was not statistically significant. In cases of physical violence, the proportion of the individual exposed to \u0000violence being male was statistically significantly higher than in cases of verbal violence (43/61(70.5%), 77/170(%47) <0,001). The proportion of \u0000female perpetrators of verbal violence was statistically significantly higher than that of physical violence (35/170(20.6%), 3/61(4.9%), <0,001). \u0000Conclusion: In our study, it was found that those exposed to physical violence were mostly men. It has been determined that women use verbal \u0000violence more than physical violence. Physicians were more exposed to verbal violence. In addition, although the propotion of emergency room \u0000location in physical violence incidents was higher than in verbal violence incidents, the difference was not found to be statistically significant. \u0000Keywords: Physical violence, verbal violence, code white, emergency service","PeriodicalId":332557,"journal":{"name":"Selcuk Tip Dergisi","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140383542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This \u0000study aimed to define an extensive ultrasonic liposuction approach without surgical excision for gynecomastia.

These patients \u0000were compared with 58 who underwent surgery using suction-assisted liposuction combined with peri areolar mastopexy and glandular \u0000excision. \u0000Results: Our study found that patients who underwent extensive ultrasonic liposuction had a complication rate of 8.7%. Of the total number \u0000of patients, only one experienced a seroma complication, and three experienced residual breast tissue/ptosis. None of the patients required \u0000revision surgery.

In the study, we aimed to \u0000investigate the effects of sertraline (SE) on aortic contraction on healthy/damaged rat aorta. \u0000Materials and Methods: Wistar albino rats (24) were divided into group1-aorta-intact endothelium and group2-aorta-damaged endothelium. The \u0000isolated aortic tissues were placed in organ baths. Changes in the isometric tension of the aortic rings were recorded. Contractions were recorded \u0000in both groups after the application of phenylephrine (PE 10-6M). Afterwards, cumulative sertraline (SE 50 mg) (10-9-10-4M) was given to group \u00001. In Group 2, to control aortic endothelial damage, acetylcholine (10-6M) was applied and the tissues were washed for an hour, the second dose\u0000 of PE was given, then SE was given cumulatively (10-9-10-4M), and contractions were recorded.\u0000 Results: After cumulative SE (10-9-10-4M) was given to Group 1, a significant inhibition in spontaneous contractions was detected in the first\u0000 three sertraline doses (10-9,10-8,10-7)(p<0.05), and in the remaining sertraline doses contraction inhibition continued. When comparing SE 10\u00006,-5,-4 and 10-9,-8,-7 doses, there was inhibition of contractions (p<0.005). In group2, the inhibition of second PE contractions continued after\u0000 sertraline doses, but the inhibition was observed less than in group1 (p<0.05).\u0000 Conclusion: SE inhibited PE-induced smooth muscle contraction in rat isolated aorta. PE-induced smooth muscle contractions were inhibited\u0000 more slowly in the endothelium-damaged aorta. It is thought that NO release and NO-dependent vasodilation in the aorta decrease as a result of\u0000 damage.

Preliminary information \u0000about the study was given to the participants, and their verbal consent was obtained. A questionnaire prepared by the researchers in line with \u0000the literature evaluating socio-demographic characteristics, probiotic food consumption and knowledge about probiotics was applied to the \u0000participants. \u0000Results: The mean age of 229 students (78.4%) who participated in the study was 24.24±1.61 years and 58.1% were female.

The most common reasons for taking probiotics were 'digestive benefits' (42.4%) \u0000and 'boosting the immune system' (26.6%), while the most common reason for not taking probiotics was 'not needed'. In the study, 51.5% of \u0000students said they would recommend probiotic foods to their peers and patients, and the most common reason for recommendation was \u0000constipation (73.4%).

Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of \u0000various diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases. Complete blood count parameters can be utilized as oxidative stress \u0000diagnostic biomarkers for many diseases related to chronic inflammatory processes. In recent clinical studies, it has been shown that the \u0000monocyte/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) may be useful as a marker of oxidative stress in many chronic dermatoses. However, as far \u0000as we know, the relationship between oxidative stress and monocyte/HDL ratio in lichen planus cases has not been studied in the literature yet.\u0000 Materials and Methods: The files of cases who were followed up with lichen planus in the dermatology clinic of a tertiary university \u0000hospital between February 2018 and July 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. There were 201 participants in the analysis, including 99 \u0000histopathologically and clinically verified LP cases and 102 age and sex-matched controls.\u0000 Results: Monocyte values (p=0.16) and HDL levels (p=0.26) were not statistically different for both groups, but the MHR value (p=0.04) \u0000was detected to be statistically significantly higher in the lichen planus group than in the control group. In oral lichen planus cases, whilst \u0000the oral disease severity score and uric acid values were not correlated (p=0.11), the oral disease severity score was correlated with the CRP \u0000(p=0.03) and MHR (p=0.001) values.\u0000 Conclusions: In the study, we found that MHR levels were significantly higher in lichen planus patients compared to the control group. Again, \u0000we detected that MHR had a better correlation with oral mucosa disease severity score than CRP.

The aim of \u0000this study was to assess the outcomes of isolated Pembersal osteotomy in children over 18 months of age with DDH.\u0000 Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of the outcomes of patients who underwent Pembersal osteotomy for DDH at our \u0000clinic from 2014 to 2021. The study included 9 children (7 girls, 2 boys) aged between 19 and 36 months with at least 2 years of follow-up who \u0000underwent isolated periacetabular Pembersal osteotomy with open reduction. Preoperative, early postoperative, 6 weeks postoperative and final \u0000follow-up radiographs were evaluated and Wiberg's centre-edge angle (CEA), the acetabular index (AI) and Tönnis grades were noted. \u0000Results: The mean age of the patients was 28.75 months and the follow-up period was 50.33 months.
